Motorola MVME147S-1

Product introduction

The **Motorola MVME-707** is a specialized single-slot hot-swappable CompactPCI/VMEbus Single-Board Computer (SBC) powered by a PowerPC™ Series Microprocessor, tailored for mission-critical industrial automation and human-machine interface (HMI) applications. As a key member of Motorola’s renowned MVME product line, the **Motorola MVME-707** integrates processing capabilities with intuitive user interaction features, making it a versatile solution for systems requiring both computational efficiency and operator control.

With 280KB of application runtime memory and 630KB of nonvolatile memory, the **Motorola MVME-707** ensures reliable storage and execution of control programs, even in power-interrupted scenarios. Its unique combination of 12 function keys and a durable touchscreen (supporting 1.5 million presses) enables seamless operator input, while the 120×350 pixel display delivers clear visual feedback. Designed for industrial ruggedness, the **Motorola MVME-707** operates across an extreme temperature range, making it suitable for harsh environments where standard computing devices fail.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Hot-swappable reliability: The **Motorola MVME-707** features single-slot hot-swappable design, allowing replacement or maintenance without shutting down the entire system. This minimizes downtime in critical applications like power generation or manufacturing, where continuous operation is paramount. The hot-swappable capability also simplifies system upgrades, reducing operational disruptions.

Extreme environmental resilience: Operating from -25°C to +125°C, the **Motorola MVME-707** outperforms standard industrial SBCs in temperature tolerance. This resilience makes it ideal for deployment in outdoor installations, high-temperature industrial processes, or cold-storage facilities, ensuring stable performance regardless of ambient conditions.

Integrated HMI functionality: Unlike many specialized SBCs, the **Motorola MVME-707** combines processing power with built-in HMI components—12 function keys and a rugged touchscreen. This integration eliminates the need for separate HMI modules, reducing system complexity, cabling, and overall costs while improving response times between operator input and system feedback.

Flexible power and bus compatibility: Supporting 89-280 VAC input, the **Motorola MVME-707** adapts to global power standards, simplifying international deployments. Its compliance with VMEbus standards (per ANSI/IEC specifications) ensures backward compatibility with existing VME-based systems, allowing easy integration into legacy setups without costly overhauls.

Typical application scenarios

In oil and gas exploration, the **Motorola MVME-707** serves as a control and monitoring unit for downhole equipment. Its extreme temperature tolerance (-25°C to +125°C) withstands the harsh conditions of drilling rigs and wellhead installations, while the integrated HMI allows on-site operators to adjust parameters and monitor sensor data in real time. The hot-swappable design ensures that maintenance can be performed during active drilling operations, avoiding costly downtime.

Within industrial manufacturing, the **Motorola MVME-707** is deployed as a machine-level controller for high-temperature processes such as metal casting or glass production. It manages heating elements, conveyor systems, and quality sensors, with the touchscreen providing operators with visual alerts for process deviations. The nonvolatile memory preserves critical process data during power fluctuations, ensuring consistent product quality even in unstable electrical environments.

In transportation infrastructure, the **Motorola MVME-707** is used in railway signaling systems and highway toll plazas. Its wide voltage input (89-280 VAC) accommodates varying power supplies in remote locations, while the rugged HMI enables technicians to configure and troubleshoot equipment on-site. The VMEbus compatibility allows it to integrate with existing communication networks, ensuring seamless data exchange with central control centers.
